  • Even Travolta Knows

    Men were flirting with me and I was being given power I never had before. I found it fascinating."

    John Travolta, the teen girl heartthrob of years ago, has new powers he never even had as a hot guy. THAT is what women take for granted and meanwhile keep shoving their 'victim' crap down men's throats anyway.

    And in other news that complements the above item...

    Sixty percent of working moms say they'd prefer working part-time, says survey. Understandble, given that they have a second job waiting for them at home!

    First, women work like two hours per week more than men at home, more than made up by men working nine hours more per week at work than do women.

    Second, women are chickening out just when men are beginning to have opportunities to be stay at home 'moms' too. YOU WOMEN SHOULD SHUT UP AND WORK, and bring home the bacon and give us men a break and a chance to raise kids!

    When do we men get breaks, options, opportunities?!? When do we men get any sexual powers to put you women out of commission AT WHIM?!?

    Shoe on the other foot not feel so good? Not so easy and rewarding being the 'breadwinner' huh? More fun and FULFILLING giving your children the gift of learning, curiosity, wonderment, than it is slinging paper for ungrateful fuckwad bosses who control your every moment JUST so you can then have the further opportunity to go home and hand over YOUR money to your beloved other who, according to the articles of the past few days, is your 'FEMALE' BOSS AT HOME, you know, the one with the sexual power Travolta refers to and which every guy is miraculously missing and which feminists IGNORE on purpose so they can keep shoving more demands at us poor men.

    We men have got it BAD, Much worse than any of us realizes it YET. Why don't you women take up freaking arms and go fight in foreign countries for the next few centuries???? Too WIMPY????

    Give it a decade...men are FINALLY WAKING THE FUCK UP

  • So Geee Gee

    [Read the article: Female genital mutilation a growing problem in Britain]

    From my experience this practice originates from cultures where men view women as things or property. These cultures are also earmarked by male psuedo bravado, coupled with deep core feelings of inferiority in the males.

    Men in these cultures fear strong women, they fear their minds, their strength, their sexuality, their independence. So the culturally bring them down a notch to remind them daily that they are lesser people. It is an act of vilification toward women.

    Don't bring men into this. Women perform the mutilation. But using your 'logic', in the USA, where male genital mutilation is performed, it THEREFORE MUST BE because American women are scared of MALE sexuality and want to put men in their place and show them who is in charge.

    I am glad we agree on this, because this is what I have been saying for years about American women and male genital mutilation.

  • An ignorant, asleep guy tells me

    Umm, brightstar? For over 40 years, women have been pressing for job equality,

    They've been pressing for special dispensation, to get pid equally for doing not the same, but LESS work than men.

    the ability to be on the front lines in war,

    You betcha. I heard so many women clamoring to sign up for selective service when they reach 18. WOMEN HAVE A CHOICe, MEN DO NOT. This follows thru in most things in society. but IGNORANT ASSES (tools of women really) like you keep insisting otherwise.

    Yet somehow they still haven't achieved full equality,

    No, women have more rights than men, this had been true for a while now, WAKE UP.

    because of, oh, let's say, a bunch of dumb-fuck guys with too-small dicks who feel threatened by opposite-sex competition. You wanna bitch at anybody, bitch at them instead of feminists.

    Here come the obligatory ad hominem attacks. Most men bend over backwards to accomodate women's demands for equal treatment. The reason this pendulum swing back has legs and is gaining traction is because men are sick of the irresponsible bullshit being passed off as responsible feminism on men who already are chafing over their lack of choices and RIGHTS in life.

    YOU SHOW ME WHAT GUY CAN MAKE A BABY WITHOUT SO MUCH AS MERELY GETTING A WOMAN'S EGG. Cannot be done. Because AVERAGE women have more rights and power than do AVERAGE men

    Truth is men rely on women, the opposite is NOT TRUE. But I can understand if you are so invested in getting pussy even at the expense of your self esteem that you must plow the same distorted dishonest crap that feminists have been trying to pawn offon men with less and less success these last few decades.
